FOUR OR five men - servers and perhaps an owner - came by our table during the course of dinner at the new upscale Greek restaurant Estia, all bearing strong opinions.
The floor captain stopped at our table at least three times to inquire whether we had made a wine selection, and to give us his view of which wine we should order. He gave us just one choice of white, one of red, without kn...

Maybe, soon in the dark of night, as he steps carefully through the tangles of the equatorial rain forest called Kibale, hoping to find an African rock python in search of a monkey meal, Michael Kern will believe where he is.
He is not in Palo Alto, Calif., in the safety of his comfortable home, with wife and two sons and 25-year career with the global technology and consulting company Ac...

DALLAS -- It didn't take J.P. Ricciardi long to take his next step in strengthening the Blue Jays for the 2006 American League East race, this time by addressing the team's offensive needs.
The Toronto general manager completed a much-anticipated deal for Milwaukee first baseman Lyle Overbay late Wednesday night, again electrifying the Winter Meetings by acquiring the career .285 hitter...

"You let your kids see that?" "All my friends will think I'm a baby." "Everyone else sees R movies all the time."
If any of those lines has ever been uttered in your house, you may be grateful to the Montgomery County, Md., school system, which is enforcing a new policy on movies in the classroom, banning R-rated flicks from high schools and PG-13 movies from middle schools.

NEW YORK - When teen actress Lindsay Lohan decided to become known as teen singer Lindsay Lohan, she followed a tried-and-true formula for the under 21-pop set: an album dominated by upbeat, danceable songs that catered to a youthful demographic.
Her sophomore record, "A Little More Personal (Raw)," still has a few of those bouncy, light tunes that will appeal to the tween set. But the ov...

Sometimes a story like the one of little Zoe Faith Flemming, only 20 months old, who died as a result of an accidental shooting Saturday, is the kind of thing that shocks a community enough to get people talking and assessing their own level of firearms safety.

Hamlet's father runs a club - not a kingdom - and the "sweet prince" drunkenly raps a version of his "To be or not to be" soliloquy in an urban teenage take on the Shakespearean play.
Brainstorming ideas for a project promoting nonviolence, the students chose a work in which almost all the main characters are dead by the time the curtain falls. But in their version, Hamlet openly discuss...

I feel for all the parents who had to scramble on Tuesday to deal with a snow day. Of course it was justified as snow made travel along roads in Cheboygan and Emmet counties hazardous.
But while the parents were fretting about what to do with the children - baby-sitters, grandparents, day care, whatever - the kids were probably ecstatic with joy that they would get a break from ...

It's impossible to say how different Robert Zavala's life would be if he hadn't broken his neck.
Perhaps he has an appreciation, unusual in a 22-year-old, that life is finite and the body is frail. Or maybe he's just mindful that the odds were once against his ever taking another step.
